Publisher's summary

From the author:

"My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole. I get excessively drunk at inappropriate times, disregard social norms, indulge every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with more women than is safe or reasonable, and just generally act like a raging dickhead. But, I do contribute to humanity in one very important way: I share my adventures with the world."

Actual reader feedback:

"I am completely baffled as to how you can congratulate yourself for being a womanizer and a raging drunk, or think anyone cares about an idiot like you. Do you really think that exploiting the insecurities of others while getting wasted is a legitimate thing to offer?"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you: for sharing with us your wonderful tales of drunken revelry, for teaching me what it means to be a man, for just existing so I know that there is another option; I too can say 'screw the system' and be myself and have fun. My life truly began when I finished reading your stories. Now, when faced with a quandary about what course of action I should take, I just ask myself, 'What would Tucker do?', and I do it, and I am a better man for it."

"I find it truly appalling that there are people in the world like you. You are a disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, foul creature. Because of you, I don't believe in God anymore. No just God would allow someone like you to exist."

"I'll stay with God as my Lord, but you are my savior. I just finished reading your brilliant stories, and I laughed so hard I almost vomited. I want to bring that kind of joy to people. You're an artist of the highest order and a true humanitarian to boot. I'm in both shock and awe at how much I want to be you."

"You are the coolest person I can even imagine existing. If you slept with my girlfriend, it'd make me love her more."

Critic reviews

"Occasionally, a book comes along that horrifies and disgusts you while making you laugh out loud all at the same time. This book does that and more." (The Rebel Yell)

Great stories, dont bother if you offend easy

This book is truly raunchy and pretty funny. To agree with many other reviews on this Audible, the narrator (who happens to be the author) does read entirely too fast... so fast that he tends to slur his words from time to time. I've read some other reviews from people who think this guy is lying and totally bullshitting all of these stories... I doubt it. I had some good laughs listening to this book, but it was a one time hit for me.

Low brow entertainment for wanna be hipsters

His stories were funny-ish. The book could be great if he didn't lie, bullsh**, and say what every teenage boy (including the ones who are 40) wants to hear. Clearly, Tucker didn't get dates in high school, and his resentment of the girls who just said no is as transparent as his embellishment. I would love to sit him down on my therapy couch + get to the root of his insecurities and misogyny and then maybe he could write the fantastic, funny, witty tale of booze infused sexcapades we all wish this one had been.

And his A.D.H.D. doesn't help the narration. Take a breath, slow it down. Just because you speed through it, doesn't make it more plausible.

But to be fair, I did laugh at least 20 times at the audacity of it all (including the idea that he wants us to believe it is an actual, factual, autobiographical memoir).

A beautifully, twisted and raunchy work of art

Tucker Max depicts his youthful days of drunken debauchery so elegantly, in this hilarious and graphic memoir that well earns the title of "Fratire"

This book

I won’t say that Tucker Max is my hero however he is a clown. Tucker Max’s life seems pretty comical and he definitely kept me entertained. Hilarious book.

couldn't stop laughing, best book ever...will not be disappointed, and you won't be able to stop listening.

Masgonistic Assholery 101

This book came recommended by a couple female coworkers which was a little surprising considering the subject manner. The stories are funny but the guys such a jerk, I started to feel like one to. Overall the stories were fun but I thought his reading was close to terrible. Easily the worst reading I've ever heard and that's funny because he wrote the damn thing. 3 & 1/2 stars.

Tucker Max?

Tucker Max (great name by the way) is the most famous person I had never heard of. OK, I'm a retired Baby Boomer so I can be forgiven my generational ignorance. I listened to this one, and his next three books, and I have rarely laughed so hard in my entire life. I mean loud laughing - doubled-over, tummy-holding, pant-peeing laughing. Don't get me wrong, I don't want him anywhere near my grand-daughter, but I get it. On the plus side, he's clearly very smart, loyal and completely honest - a good guy to know. I think his reading made the audio version better, not worse. Did he swallow some words? Sure. Just like we all do when recounting a funny story. The audio book is more like an informal conversation than a formal reading. I can't imagine anyone else reading this book.

Funny

This book has a lot of funny stories, with a some dirty words and college level writing, I really enjoyed it. Laughing so hard I cried a couple times. (Not for the sensitive)

Perfect

This is definitely one of my top five audiobooks. It's narrated by the author and is the sort of audio you could listen to again and again and never tire of. My friends who hate audiobooks begged for me to lend them my ipods to listen to this in their cars. It's that good.
